Design Starters help give you a running start for your next design. Whether you are looking to begin a wireless charging platform or quickly design around a Bluetooth Low Energy module, our Design Starters will help get you quickly on your way.
Digi-Key has worked with industry leaders to help drive almost instantaneous ideation and these starters are ideal building blocks to help get your concepts created, drawn and documented in almost no time at all. This project is a wireless power transmission system that works on the principle of magnetic induction. This wireless charging system works as the digital switched mode power supply with the transformer, which is separated into two parts: The transformer primary coil works as the transmitter coil, and the transformer secondary coil serves as the receiver. This system works based on magnetic induction, the better coupling between the transmitter coil and receiver coil gain, the better system efficiency. So the receiver coil should be closely and center-aligned with the transmitter coil as possible. After the receiver coil receives the power from the transmitter coil by magnetic field, it regulates the received voltage to power the load, and send its operational information to transmitter according to specific protocol by the communication link. Then the system can achieve the closed-loop control, and power the load stably and wirelessly.
This circuit design allows full evaluation capability of the PF0100 SMARTMOS Power Management Integrated Circuit (PMIC) for the i.MX6 family of application processors. The PF0100 provides a highly programmable/ configurable architecture, with fully integrated power devices and minimal external components. With on-chip One Time Programmable (OTP) memory, the PF0100 is available in preprogrammed standard versions, or non-programmed to support custom programming. The PF0100 is defined to power an entire embedded MCU platform solution such as i.MX6 based eReader, IPTV, medical monitoring, and home/factory automation.
